Nespresso by Nestle

By Redesigner: maxim Placed on: 2007-08-23 00:00:00 The Nespresso was designed to be an elegant coffee machine. Classic style design etc. Even the cups look cool! The bad thing about this one is that after pressing the button, the machine just keeps running and won't stop until you push the button again. So if you forget, your cup will run over. There's nothing elegant about that! C'mon people, this is 2007!

    Markus August 24, 2007, 10:51 am "Are you sure that you read the manual? My Nespresso machine uses this function (start / stop) to teach the machine how much coffee to spit out ... then one touch of the button will result in just the right amount." reply

    Maxim August 24, 2007, 1:41 pm "Hi Markus, I recently learned there are 2 versions of the machine. This version, and a more expensive version (about 50 euro) which has the functionality you are describing." reply

    Maxim October 23, 2007, 11:33 pm "I think that if you put your name on a machine and sell it, you're partially responsible for the problem, no matter who manufacturers it. The whole experience with the machine becomes part of your brand, good or bad." reply

    Eco October 24, 2007, 7:06 am "The hole name of the machine is wrong. If you want an esprosso do the work and do not put some fresh cooked water with old coffee. Although the desing looks nice it doesn't produce real coffee and surley no essprosso." reply

    Mark October 25, 2007, 1:44 pm "Why offer a cheaper version without the automatics? It's stupid." reply

    Robbert October 30, 2007, 3:26 pm "It is ment to be like this; For the possibility to put coffee in custom sized mugs with custom strongness. (actually, in a way, to serve a visiting/partner non espresso drinker normal coffee) But I agree; running over could have been noticed with a sensor and acted upon. For the price of these machines.

    mohry October 12, 2008, 5:46 am "What gets me is that the machine will take only Nespresso capsules which are way too expensive. Wouldn't it be more profitable for them to lower the price and sell more? I can't wait for a competitor to sell his own compatible capsules cheaper and with new coffee varieties. " reply
